I wanna say Batman but I think MGS V is taking it this year.

Fallout 4.....please.... let it be this year.

Arkham Knight or Phantom Pain

I think MGS5 will likely score most of them but almost all of these titles will win one. Especially in their demographic area.

You are basically asking which games will end up in the 90 percentile aggregated score, as those are the game usually put into the running.

Zelda will score ridiculously high, maybe more than it deserves but it will be a great game that will be ignored by the "hardcore" monopolized by PS4/XBO crowd anyway.

MGSV.....idk, I can't shake the feeling this is going to be a disappointment. This is the 3rd/4th prequel, and it is getting kind of nauseating at least for me. They have now stretched the Big Boss Story arch paper thin and they are just grasping at straws to keep the series alive due to it being Konami's biggest money draw. I am thinking this game is going to fall just short of perfection (89%)

Persona 5. This series has had a considerable amount of anticipation and a big gap between its last main release that it will probably feel the freshest. Persona 4/Golden is the highest rated JRPG in like the last 10years. Sure, its fanbase is niche but it is debuting during prime time and it will be getting massive exposure.

Zelda hands down. There's no other worthy contender.

This... Like most wins for GOTY? Or are we talking about it for ourselves personally? 

Impossible. The average reviewer immediatly takes of 1 point due to it being CoD.

MGSV easily, atleast for critics and myself xD

Its good though, let UC4 win 2016 :D

Zelda is probably a safe bet for most GOTY awards; every game consistently gets a good number. As for the The Game Awards, Zelda, MGSV, Witched 3, Halo 5, and even XCX are all potentials. I would say Zelda is still the safest bet on pedigree alone, but this is harder to judge.
